Improvement for Web and Thymeleaf styles - structure project generation about initializr HOT 9 CLOSED

Thanks for the ideas. You don't need src/main/webapp to create a WAR though.

Hi Dave

You're welcome, let me know when be ready a new release, I need those features to make easier the tutorials for the reader.

Pls keep in mind that I want export each project how a simple .war to be deploy it without any problems on Tomcat.

Thank You.

For the sake of clarity I'll repeat: you don't need "src/main/webapp" to build a WAR file. What you need is packaging=war (in Maven terms), which would lead to a new "packaging" radio button on the home page (WAR/JAR) which I don't think STS would pick up immediately. Maybe you can check with the STS guys what needs to be done to add a new radio button and then submit a pull request (it might need a new release of STS)?

Thanks by the clarification, I already wrote an email to Martin. Let's see what happen now. I will turn around in other way this situation for my Spring roadmap, I can't wait other new STS release.

Yeah, we don't pick up radio buttons. The only radio button on the form was to choose pom versus zip, I think and that button didn't seem to do anything. So picking it up would have been a problem.

I can certainly and fairly easily make it so STS also picks up on radio buttons on the initilizr app and reflects the buttons in the wizard. But yes, that would require a new build of STS since the functionality is not implemented yet.

I don't think this is necessarily a problem, as a long as showing the wizard inside of STS without the radio button makes sense (i.e. if the radio button field is not given a value in the http query parameters, initializr app chooses a sensible default).

That way, people with old STS won't see the 'packaging type' radio button, but it won't break their 'new spring starter' wizard.

Thanks by the reply, tomorrow I should start to write my last tutorials, all now about SpringBoot, therefore I am going to see if really that feature is mandatory or not for STS

from initializr.

See new features here: http://start-development.cfapps.io/ (including war packaging, java version, .groovy lang support). STS doesn't know about these yet, but hopefully @kdvolder can find time to do that sometime. You can use curl and tar to download a project and unpack it BTW:

$ curl start-development.cfapps.io/starter.tgz | tar -xzvf - && mvn package

Hi Dave

I have checked the link, excellent!, my tutorial SpringRoadamp is completed, and is working with Spring Boot 1.0.2. I am assuming these new features is for SB 1.1.0 and STS for 3.5.2 or 3.6.0

Anyway, JSP files must be located within the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/somedirectory, it does not work into the src/main/resources/somedirectory, I have played with many options in the application.properties files. Furthermore in the source code available by Josh Long in his GitHub account he is using the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp directory location

Kind Regards..

BTW about the Styles list, I am sure that is going to grow, consider in use many columns to make more friendly the presentation for the user.
